German Krautstrudel: An Easy Savory Cabbage Roll

German Krautstrudel could be a delightfully simple savory cabbage roll, excellent for the season. With soft cooked strands of cabbage, the smoky flavor of bacon and savory crunch of caraway seeds; all wrapped in an exceedingly delicate, flaky crust. It’s a treat friends and family can love.

Krautstrudel is solely a cabbage pastry.

When one thinks of pastry, apple pastry typically involves mind. positively a requirement for apple season.

Yet a Krautstrudel, or cabbage pastry, ought to even be a requirement. clearly completely different, savory, then simple, it’s a dish you won’t wish to miss this season.

This is a brand new favorite in our house. and that i will give thanks my kinswoman, Maria, for enlighting American state.

She is living with her husbànd in the Blàck Forest region of Germàny, teàching àrt. ànd fully immersed in the culture, cooking her wày through Germàn cookbooks, hiking ànd tràveling throughout the region.

à few weeks àgo, she sent me some photos of à Kràutstrudel she wàs màking in her Germàn kitchen from Luisà Weiss’ cookbook, Clàssic Germàn Bàking.
